Simple way to stop spam

[Pravin]

Here is a simple script that can used to stop mail header injections from webforms hosted on the server. Script must be included as auto_prepend_file in php.ini and it is checking all posted values for some suspicious strings. If it finds any - it will add anti-spam- string. There are few options for reports also, so you can monitor what and who is beeing caught.

The script can be downloaded at http://www.fight-spam.org.

Does it differentiate between spam and something that might be real mail. I know sometimes a person might have something legitimate they are sending out that might get caught as spam when it is not.

Actually, when an email is triggered and sent in bulk including hundreds of recipients at the same time, some of the ISP's consider it as spam and it is then directed to the spam folder and hence you might see such emails in the spam folder of your email account.

What if it is like a newsletter like the ones my kids schools send. They send hundreds out at the same time. Sometimes it comes to my inbox and other times it gets marked as spam. Do they have some special permission or something?

If the emails are sent from a specific email address and you wish to get all those emails in the Inbox folder, you can setup Email Filtering from cPanel control panel and add a rule in it so as to receive all the emails from that email address in the Inbox folder

Hope this helps...
